Diploma thesis discusses and summarizes the problematic how ovality effects durability of bended tubes. The work presents an approach to the solution, the experiments concerning change of ovality, changes in the thickness of the distorted cross-section. Final results represent connection between ovality and durability.

Master thesis analyzes rotary draw bending of the tubes without using a mandrel. Bending process is accompanied by many defects due to large displacement of formed material. One of the major defects is flattering of the cross section also called ovality. In order to decrease ovality comes up a proposal of the changes to the tool design. Modifications of tool’s geometry are numerically analyzed by finite element method in software ANSYS. According to the results of the simulations an optimized pressure die is manufactured. Several experimental tests are accomplished to verify the effect of the optimized tool design. Approximately 100 bends confirm a decrease of ovality using modified pressure die.

The objective of this diploma thesis is to state the influence of porosity, DAS and shape factor on mechanical characteristics for the cast transmission cover made in Kovolit Modrice a.s.Which was molten from AlSi9Cu3. It was used an imaging software (Olympus Five) for classification of metallographical structures.

The objective of this diploma thesis is an evaluation of die-castings porosity, eventually the evaluation of seats with local squeeze in connection with their mechanical and structural properties. The swatches of alloy AISi9Cu3 were taken from the engine block made by  koda Auto Company, Mlad Boleslav. To the evaluation and the comparison of the results there were the other VUT FSI Brno students´ theses used.

One of the important parameters observed during extruded fibre fabrication is its diameter. The diameter can be measured with a single scanning camera assuming that the fibre section has a circular shape. As proved in practice, another important parameter is ovality, that is the rate of fibre flattening. This paper assumes that the fibre section shape is elliptical. In such a case, at least three different views on examined fibre are needed. Mathematical part of this paper is concerned with analytical description of fibre ovality measurement using two different approaches based on the knowledge of linear algebra, projective geometry and conic sections theory. Main goal of this paper is thus to use both mathematical theory and image analysis methods for ovality and diameter determination. Precise calcluation of such quantities is, however, conditioned on precise camera system calibration, which is described in the paper as well. Additionally, the work contains a brief mention of technical realization of ovality measurement and its possible difficulties.
